Now that looks cool. If I was in a situation where I could not run an independent process, ie, had to use apache for the server, I'd check that out. Or if the client software will only call on port 80 or something very wierd. There is also a book you might want to investigate, *Writing apache modules with C and Perl*, which I believe gets into the nitty gritty of programming for the apache request cycle along the lines of how mod_perl (an apache module...) itself works. I haven't read it yet, I learned this recently in *Practical mod_perl*. But I'll second or third the idea of writing an independent server, presuming you have root access et. al. I've done this and it works great. The Socket/INET socket modules for perl are nice. You don't use mason of course, but the component system and the concept of templates will probably be useful. You just get the client to call a specific port (like, not apache) and deal with it the way it expects to be dealt. -- MK <halfcountp...@intergate.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Mason-users mailing list Mason-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mason-users
